FAQs
1. What is Dal Dhokli
Dal Dhokli is a Gujarati comfort dish where wheat flour dumplings (dhokli) are cooked in a sweet-spicy-tangy dal (lentil soup). It’s a complete one-pot meal.
2. Can I use store-bought pasta instead of homemade dhokli
Not recommended—the texture differs. For shortcuts, use rolled chapatis cut into squares (add just before serving).
3. Why is my dal too thick
Add hot water to adjust consistency.
Remember: Dhokli absorbs liquid as it cooks.
4. How to make it gluten-free
Use jowar or bajra flour for dhokli and tamarind (not wheat-based goda masala).
5. What’s the secret to balanced flavor
Gujarati-style requires 3 tastes:
Sweet (jaggery/jaggery powder)
Tangy (tamarind or lemon)
Spicy (red chili + goda masala)
6. Can I add vegetables
Yes! Classic additions:
Drumsticks (flavor-infusing)
Pumpkin or sweet potato (natural sweetness)
